As you know I´m fascinated by Mola which I got to know a bit closer in Anne Langes class. The mug from last time was not so difficult to sew. But my second design ( not a mug) was much more complicated. I had problems to distinguish the different steps. So I´ve got the idea to try it out in paper.

That was it! I learned how to construct it and had the chance to ponder a bit about colors.

I don’t know much about mola, but am now curious to find out more. Playing with paper is a clever way to figure things out before you sew. I like the way the dark lines are balanced; there’s a nice flow. It reminds me of looking out a window at a spring sky.

Very nice work! I googled Molas and how to make them. Got a lot of videos with pictures of them but not much on instruction. And then saw a video on how to create them in paper! Your technique to make a pattern first was wise. I do also love the paper gal and her pet. Hope she makes it onto a cloth.

Hi, in answer to linking to Paper molas, I dont even know how to get my reply under your response to keep that thread going.. so Oh my, this is why I dont have a blog! I dont know if this is the way to link to a you tube video. This is what showed up on a copy/paste –but you could google the title “Paper Molas” by Ronda Sternhagen. She published it on February 12, 2012. Hope this helps!https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=zB-aoFi2dUo
